Helping Shepherds Hill Gardens in Highgate

🌳 Tuesday GoodGym Group Run: Shepherds Hill Gardens!

This Tuesday, join GoodGym Barnet for a group run to support Shepherds Hill Gardens in Highgate—a peaceful, historic park with views across the city. The Gardens are managed by a dedicated yet elderly friends group led by Pat. They need our help because many of the volunteers are now in their 70s and 80s. Let’s bring the energy and help this incredible green space continue to thrive!

🛠️ Tasks

We’ll tackle essential work to keep the Gardens beautiful and accessible. Tasks include:

Clearing leaves from pathways and grass

Cutting back brambles and ivy

Collecting rubbish to keep the area clean and safe

Trimming and tidying hedges

🗓️ Plan

Meet at the Phoenix Cinema at 6:45 pm for a warm-up and run to the Gardens (about 2.5km each way), or join us directly at the benches at 7:20 pm. It’s only a quick jog from the Phoenix, and you’ll be joining a group committed to helping our community stay green and vibrant.

📍 Location

Benches on the road in front of Shepherds Hill Gardens, N6 5RE (opposite 60 Shepherds Hill)
